189 Siemens’ new energy saving LED pedestrian crossing wait indicator retrofit solution allows both Siemens and Peek 48 volt incandescent wait indicators to be upgraded to the latest Central Light Source (CLS) LED technology, says the company.

Siemens claim the low power consumption the solution offers power savings typically in excess of 70% and represents a highly cost effective upgrade option for existing wait indicators, particularly when undertaken alongside a wider LED traffic signal upgrade program.

The new solution uses yellow LEDs to provide improved visibility, particularly in bright sunlight, providing excellent optical performance, combined with easy installation and a full lamp monitoring compatibility with Siemens controllers

According to head of product management, Keith Manston, Siemens’ customers are looking at every opportunity to reduce power consumption and this latest addition to the Siemens low-power LED retrofit portfolio provides a sustainable solution with minimum waste, high optical brightness and outstanding phantom performance.

Siemens says the new wait indicators complement the existing Siemens retrofit solution for Helios and Peek Elite signals, now allowing all signalling equipment on a site to be efficiently upgraded to modern LED technology, re-using as much of the existing roadside equipment as possible.

This latest development not only enables customers to benefit from the overall energy savings of low power LED solutions, it eliminates the ongoing need to regularly replace lamps, reducing the carbon footprint in both the lamp manufacturing process and the vehicle miles travelled to the site to undertake lamp changes.

    Machine vision - cameras for intelligent traffic management
    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

Some 10 people die each week in accidents on crosswalks in the US, that’s more than 10% of all pedestrian fatalities in road traffic incidents - the number of which is running at a five-year high. Ensuring crosswalks are safe is key in supporting the growing enthusiasm for walking as a travel mode. In the last decade of the 20th century, numbers walking to work in the US fell by 26%; while, as recently as 2012, Americans were e
